Show Notes

“I’m so much better as a coach now moving from the college level to the high school level because I’ve learned so much as far as time management, organization… you know it’s been such a great opportunity to kind of learn trial by error.” 7:30

“I would highly suggest if you’re going to go into coaching, you need to get a teaching degree because, again, the volatility especially in college athletes, you never know when you’re going to be without a job.” 12:50

“The thing I’ve been really amazed with as a high school strength coach is what a family community is and how just the relationships have been built so quickly, but are amazingly strong.” 25:50

“You have two ears and one mouth so you should be listening twice as much as you’re talking.” (Advice to interns) 32:48
